I am new to VMM internals, but have experience in database (Sybase) internals and data center infrastructure. RDBMS engines that run on many OSes go out of their way to reimplement OS facilities (e.g. memory management, threads, disk and network I/O) to insulate their performance from OS intermediation. The dispelling of newbie ignorance can sometimes yield good diagrams for future newbies. Do you have recommendations for research papers with diagrams/history of virtualization implementations? I'm looking for high-level overviews with conceptual models that are low-level accurate. Two overview papers:

Denali, VMware, User-Mode Linux (is Fig. 3 correct? where would Xen go?)

VM/370, Denali, Xen:

Is there a definitive bibliography of web-accessible virtualization papers?
